ChuangTzu Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) That the hell is UTC? Are you trying to make it harder for us to work out what time the maintenances are? What happened to GMT? I'm in Australia and have relatives in England so could easily work out the times for maintenance. Remember when they used to list several time zones, that was great but that was clearly too much work for them.

Having to flip open a new browser and type in "UTC to EDT" took entirely too long, something like 10 seconds, and the resulting page which clearly instructed me to subtract 4 hours from the UTC to obtain the EDT time was like reading a graduate thesis in quantum mechanics. Please, in the future, list the times of upcoming maintenances using a full color, detailed chart outlining all 24 time zones around the world and what the appropriate start time should be.

And it's so hard for BW to post times for all the servers? Why do American and European time zones get included, but not any APAC time zones? We're not saying all of them (I'm sure if they just included AEST we could work it out), but why are we the region that gets ignored}? We pay the same money as anyone else. If it's so easy to work out, then no one will mind if they only post AEST times now, will they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries_cz Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 So this is just going live sans-testing? God help us... It brings primarily Cartel Features, those really do not need testing on PTS. Internal testing by QA is sufficient for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icelus_rh Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Will the long hair I saw in the teaser video for the dye also be available with 2.1? Some of my friends have been itching or long hair for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewintelamon Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I remember the last time someone had a hissy over all time zones not being displayed, another poster went and posted start times for ALL the local time designations in the world. It was a formidable wall of text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kupo Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) I don't know why they switched from CST (my zone) to PST, but seriously, it's not all that hard to remember that I'm 2 hours ahead of PST and 5 hours behind UTC. Just learn your offset and apply as needed. Back on topic, I'm actually more interested in bugs fixes than in the customization stuff. Here's hoping there are a lot of them. Oh, and +1 to Kubernetic for that great reply. Edited May 12, 2013 by Kupo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayshames Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Usually I'd complain about more cartel stuff and less bug fixes etc. That being said... I've been waiting at least 6 months for recustomization on my Assassin. I'm desperate to play my Assassin again, though right now I cannot force myself to as body type 3 is disgusting. Lost all motivation to do anything the past week as I know I'll be going back to my Assassin for sure. CANNOT WAIT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Australia and have relatives in England so could easily work out the times for maintenance. Remember when they used to list several time zones, that was great but that was clearly too much work for them. You have an excellent point and they should list more time zones than they do now. UTC - Universal Time Coordinated which is explained at http://www.wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/utc.htm Anyone who served in the military in the past 30 years or so should have no problems converting UTC to their time zone. For example the US uses nine standard time zones. From east to west they are Atlantic Standard Time (AST) (UTC -3), Eastern Standard Time (EST) (UTC -4), Central Standard Time (CST) (UTC -5), Mountain Standard Time (MST) (UTC -6), Pacific Standard Time (PST) (UTC -7), Alaskan Standard Time (AKST) (UTC -8), Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST) (UTC -10), Samoa standard time (UTC-11) and Chamorro Standard Time (UTC+10).

Rincewend Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 any chance at early patch notes? Early I would settle for even after, I have kept checking and it seems this patch never happend, no notes, nothing. If I had not been booted off for the patch I would of assumed it did not take place. So was anything done, fixed, broken, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
